Anyone with even a passing interest in football can close their eyes and envision a handful of traditional Super Bowl images.

A winning quarterback holding the Lombardi Trophy aloft while confetti rains down. A hail of storm of flashes going off at once during the opening kickoff.

These images are seared into the popular imagination.

So we went through the archives to try and find something different — artful, odd photos that shed a different light on the Super Bowl. These unfamiliar images of players, fans, and even babies stand in stark contrast to the iconic photos we think of when we hear "Super Bowl."

These photos are all of the Super Bowl, but they don't feel like it at first glance.
